Smartmatic: all things connected

After analyzing the minutes of a meeting held in Chicago between Cook County and Chicago's city officials with the board of Sequoia, that remained in charge after the take over, and that of Smartmatic [6], Ochoa noted that unknown Venezuelan investors, operating via proxy European ventures, could indeed be the controlling power behind Smartmatic. Ochoa indicated that an entry in the minutes of the meeting aforementioned describes Cook County's Commissioner Peter Silvestri [14] asking to representatives of Sequoia/Smartmatic "who owns Sequoia?" (sic). The answer came from Honorable David Orr [15]: "Smartmatic International, which is owned by a Dutch company, owns Sequoia Voting Systems. Some key investors of the said Dutch company are Venezuelans" (sic). On May 26th 2005 Cook County's Election Department informed that Sequoia was the winner of the bidding process for electronic voting equipment [16].

This is the company that ran the VZ pseudo-elections and then HIRED the Carter Foundation to approve them.

Coming soon to Chicago? With Jimmy in tow?

I always get the impression that Daley keeps winning with votes that were left in the machines for his old man.

Let me tell you about Florida Illinois politicians.

I make them out of whole cloth, just like a tailor makes a suit.

I get their name in the newspaper.

I get them some publicity and get them on the ballot.

Then after the election, we count the votes.

And if they don't turn out right, we recount them. And recount them again.

Until they do."

Johnny Rocco "Key Largo"

If this happens, Chicago could wind up with a corrupt, liberal government.

Jimmy Carter thinks he is Thomas Becket. Let's hope he's right.

Why go through all that cloak and dagger stuff? This IS Chicago we're talking here aint it? So why don't they just have a bunch of Hugo's people flown in for the next election? Or better still just don't have an election, report the rat one by a million votes, and save the money for a midnight basketball league.

Or they could just skip the election, pay the Carter Center, and bring in Jimmy to tell everybody who was "legitimately" elected.

"It is extremely worrying indeed that a company with connections to the Hugo Chavez regime has been selected to run elections in a county of Chicago and given carte blanche to operate in the USA and other countries. Equally preoccupying is the fact that leading players of the global financial market are related to Smartmatic and to some extent to Fidel Castro's heir."

The bottom line summary.
